Kamen Rider: Evolution

Chuang Yue burst out from underground and landed on the ground as lightly as if it were nothing. With a slight lift of his arm, Pandora's box that could destroy the world fell into his hand from the sky.

"Isn't it a bit of a waste if the power of Pandora's Box is only used to destroy or create worlds?"

Chapter 579 Dragon and Lock

"Sento...it worked." Looking at the robot that had stopped functioning as if it had crashed, Kazumi Saruwatari deactivated his transformation.

"This country has been saved by Kamen Rider once again." Ice World Gentoku lowered his hands, and the crocodile armor on his body dissipated.

After reverting to their original forms, they ran together towards the direction of creation, having saved the world. This was the perfect time to celebrate and have a relaxing party.

When Kazumi Saruwatari and Gentoku Hyose arrived, Ryuga Banjou, who had been unconscious, regained consciousness and ran with the two of them toward Kamen Rider Build.

However, they were very surprised when they saw Sougo deactivate his transformation.

As Kamen Rider Build's armor fluttered in the wind, his figure split in two amidst the swirling breeze. One was Kiryu Sento, whom everyone recognized, while the other was Jiang Xia, whom no one else knew.

It's clearly a suit of armor, so why are there two people after the transformation is deactivated?

"Zhan Tu, it seems your companions have a lot of questions to ask." Jiang Xia, carrying Pandora's Box, looked at the trio running over and said, "This question is yours."

"Okay, then say you're my dad's assistant." Zhan Tu nodded.

"Okay," Jiang Xia agreed.

Fifteen minutes later, the participants returned to the cafe's underground base.

Through Kiryu Sento's explanation, Enka also acquires a new identity here.

Shinobu Katsuragi's assistant and another genius scientist.

After learning each other's identities, the two began tinkering with equipment related to the Kamen Rider system and the information left behind by Shinobu Katsuragi.

The conversation between the two was filled with various technical terms that sounded impressive but were actually quite confusing.

This made everyone inside the base except for the two of them feel like they were being tortured. They couldn't understand anything and could only guess. They wanted to figure out what Jiang Xia and Zhan Tu were doing.

Because what they're doing is very likely related to the upcoming battle, we have no choice but to listen.

They could only barely understand half of it, and the rest they couldn't understand at all, so they left the base to prepare for something else.

As for Ryuga Banjou, the only one in the main group who is responsible for intelligence, he ran to the next room to exercise the moment the two started talking, showing no intention of listening at all.

He knew he wouldn't understand even if he stayed, so he simply stopped listening.

"Best Match!" Kiryu Sento, his hair sticking up high, shouted excitedly at the computer screen, "Jiang Xia, come quick! I've completely cracked the data my dad left behind."

"Here it comes." Jiang Xia put the Build Driver, which had been disassembled into parts, on the workbench, stood up from the chair, took off the goggles on his forehead, and walked to Kiryu Sento's side.

"What was discovered?"

"Look here, this is all the research data my dad left behind." Kiryu Sento pointed to a series of data and formulas displayed on the computer screen and showed them to Jiang Xia.

"An artificial wormhole, what a brilliant idea!" Jiang Xia praised without reservation after reading it.

This document describes Katsuragi Shinobu's most important research achievement, a plan developed to save the world, starting with the parallel world fusion technology of Mogami Kaisei.

"Impressive, right? Amazing, right? My dad's a genius, isn't he?" Kiryu Sento's face lit up with a childlike smile upon hearing the praise.

The people sitting next to him were excitedly shouting at Zhan Tu. They simply used their paper fans to fan themselves, enjoying the cool breeze. They were already used to Zhan Tu's occasional shouts.

"Yeah, as expected of Katsuragi Shinobu." Jiang Xia agreed with Sento's statement. He patted Sento on the shoulder and said, "I'll go call Banjou. You bring Pandora's Box and Danger Trigger."

"Okay, the rules for victory have been determined." Sento stood up happily and hopped off to get the things.

Soon after.

"Will this really work?" Ryuga Banjou, who had been summoned, approached Pandora's Box with a dangerous trigger in his hand, very cautiously.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. All you have to do is hold the dangerous trigger in your hand and put your hand into Pandora's box," Sento shouted.

"But you all don't seem to be without any problems right now," Banjō Ryūga turned around and shouted angrily at the group of people who were hiding far away.

The situation inside the secret base is now quite dire.

Sento held a welding mask to cover his face, and there was at least five meters between him and Pandora's Box.

What’s even worse is that other people hid behind tables, chairs, and even computers as if they had seen a ghost.

They only needed to peek by secretly peeking through their eyes.

He was just putting things away, not holding a bomb. Why did he need to be so far away?

Wait a minute! He suddenly realized a serious problem.

"Hey, Sento, won't this thing explode if I put it down?!" Wan Zhanglong shouted at Sento, who was in a defensive stance.

He had been tricked by Sento's experiments many times, and his face had turned black from being blown up several times, so he seriously suspected that he was being used as an experiment now.

"My dad's research materials don't say it's possible, but who knows, it's better to be safe than sorry," Zhan Tu said tentatively.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a problem. The data is fine," Jiang Xia said to the hesitant Wan Zhanglong.

"You have absolutely no right to say such things. Look at yourself!"

Wan Zhanglong was even more furious when he heard Jiang Xia's words. Although the others were afraid, they were at least still in the same room, but Jiang Xia simply ran upstairs to the coffee shop.

I'm talking to them on a walkie-talkie right now.

"I'm drinking coffee. Your coffee here is really good." Jiang Xia raised his cup slightly, the dark brown coffee rippling. "Let's get started. You are the only hope to save the world. Whether we can defeat Evolto depends on you."

"All right!"

Encouraged by Jiang Xia, Wan Zhanglong squinted his eyes, took a big step closer to Pandora's Box, stretched out his hand, and carefully placed the dangerous trigger into Pandora's Box.

Kiryu Sento, hiding behind his riot mask, saw Banjou Ryuga's actions and a wicked smile crept across his lips. He put his right hand behind his back and made a subtle gesture to the people hiding around him.

The instant I placed the ten-thousand-foot dragon inside, a blinding white light suddenly burst forth from Pandora's box, and then in the next moment...

"boom!"

A tremendous explosion suddenly erupted. The moment Wan Zhanglong heard the explosion, he dropped the dangerous trigger in his hand and turned to run. But no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't avoid being engulfed by the explosion.

At the same time, dazzling ribbons shot out from the four corners of the secret base, enveloping Wan Zhanglongwo, who was located in the very center.

"Oh! The party's starting!"

Kazumi Saruwatari burst out from under the table with a firework tube, while Gentoku Hyosei pulled open his clothes to reveal the words written on his inner shirt to the accompaniment of loud music: "Celebrating Victory."

Misora ​​Ishidou and Sawa Takikawa, also adorned with slightly shimmering colored lights, began to dance around Ryuga Banjou.

"What the heck? It wasn't an explosion after all!" Ryuga Banjo was initially startled by the explosion, but upon seeing the dazzling fireworks and celebratory lights, he immediately understood and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Impressive, right? Superb, right? I'm a genius, aren't I!" Kiryu Sento exclaimed.

"How can there be no celebration after the battle? So we came up with this idea." Jiang Xia came down from up there at that moment.

"You're the only one who doesn't know, and you're making up some ridiculous reasons to scare me," Wan Zhanglong shouted angrily at the two of them.

"Who told you to go to another room? Didn't you hear us talking?" Zhan Tu said innocently, but with a smug look on his face.

“Who can understand that?” Wan Zhanglong retorted.

"Were you lying to me just now, saying I was the only hope to defeat Evolto or something?" Banjō Ryūga turned his attention to Jiang Xia again.

“No, you are indeed the only hope to defeat him.” Jiang Xia walked to Pandora’s Box, picked up the newly generated white panel and showed it to Wan Zhanglong. “This was born from your power. It is indeed hope. I’ll tell you more later. Now it’s time to celebrate.”

"I really can't do anything with you guys!" Banjou Ryuuya smiled. Although he was a little angry at being tricked, they were all his comrades.

"The party has begun!"

"Cheers!" Several glasses filled with orange juice clinked together. In the center of the closed café was a huge table covered with all sorts of ingredients.

Jiang Xia wasn't responsible for intimidating Wan Zhanglongwo; he was just keeping watch at the entrance. Yuan Du Yi Hai and Bing Shi Huan De were in charge of buying ingredients, while the girls were responsible for preparation.

Anyway, everyone is doing their own job.

The food on the table was so delicious that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Due to time constraints, it was impossible to prepare overly complicated dishes in a short period of time.

So they chose to eat hot pot, which is convenient, quick, and delicious.

Actually, if it weren't for Sento's strong opposition to going out for barbecue at night, they would probably be on the rooftop right now, enjoying the evening breeze while grilling and eating.

Of course, it's not bad now either; hot pot, which is mainly about eating, can satisfy everyone.

The tempting slices of bright red meat swirl in the boiling hot pot, turning into glistening white meat under the high temperature. Paired with the special dipping sauce, it's simply irresistible.

Having abandoned vegetables, Wan Zhanglong quickly swallowed the meat slices at the speed of a dragon, while his opponent was Saruwatari Kazumi, who had mastered the art of using chopsticks.

The two began a meat-eating contest, but the battle was limited to the two of them.

Bing Shi Huan De quietly ate the meatballs, while the girl group tried everything, chatting as they put all the ingredients into the pot.

As for Jiang Xia, he was drinking juice with Kiryu Sento, clinking glasses lightly, as if neither of them had much interest in eating.

An hour later, the celebration continued, but this time the location changed to the rooftop, and the celebration method changed to fireworks.

Since there are cannon salutes, there will naturally be fireworks as well.

Two girls were dancing on the rooftop with sparklers in their hands, their joyful atmosphere practically radiating from their faces. Meanwhile, Kazumi Saruwatari was staring at Misora ​​Ishido with a perverted look on his face, his mouth practically stretched to his ears.

Who told him to be such a die-hard fan of Misora ​​Isurugi? The only thing he has in common with Otoya Akane is his face and his fighting spirit.

Kazumi Saruwatari once bought a whole basket of useless handshake coupons, and was often ripped off by people under the guise of idol worship.

Akane tricks others, while Saruwatari Kazumi is tricked by others.

The differences are quite significant.

The worst off is Manjō Ryūga. He ate too much and got diarrhea. He's spending most of the night in the toilet, so it looks like he'll be spending most of the night alone.

Jiang Xia and Zhan Tu leaned against the rooftop, enjoying the cool summer breeze and drinking the juice that had been refilled in their hands.

"It is precisely to maintain this peaceful daily life that I choose to fight desperately, but this irreplaceable daily life does not last long."

Zhantu drank the juice in small sips, his eyes always staying on the few people who showed happy smiles.

“Peace and stability are always fleeting and the most precious thing, no matter when. There are always people working behind the scenes to maintain this kind of life.” Jiang Xia leaned against the railing, admiring the fireworks that lit up the night sky. “The end of the world is already the norm for me.”

"Evolto is our doomsday, but even if it is, we must fight with all our might to defeat him," Kiryu Sento said calmly.

“Defeating him alone is not enough. Using the method of world fusion to deplete Evolto is a good idea, but we can’t let him disappear completely.” Jiang Xia turned to look at Kiryu Sento. “You should understand what I mean.”

"We'll see. If things really escalate to that point, I'll figure something out." Kiryu Sento remained silent for a while before speaking.

He has been deliberately avoiding this question all along: the genetic factors within Wan Zhang's body.
